A cat can get tangled up in all kinds of fun and mischief between wake-up time and nap time. Follow along with the playful text as Cat laps up milk, messes up the house, gets up to no good, stands up to a visiting dog, and finally curls up for a nap in the sun. The expressive, energetic illustrations against simple backgrounds mirror the spare but rhythmic text that teaches about up actions while leading the reader through a day in the life of a cat. Together with Up Dog, this board book will soon be a favorite of toddlers and preschoolers who adore animals.
Charmingly appropriate is the idea that a board book...would be created around one of the first words that toddlers learn--up.--Lisa Dalrymple"Canadian Children's Book News" (07/01/2012)
Simple words used in simple sentences made reading this one with my 5 year old fun, and educational too.
